Since Champions Circle launched "those who stay" this years version of "one more year thought it appropriate to throw out some thoughts.
Their goal is $1 million. As of an hour ago they had already raised over $111k. I love this campaign. It gives everyone a chance to donate to a collective to help keep a competitive team on the field. This is how NIL can be sustainable. There are over 650k active alumni members and approximately 4.5 million in the overall fanbase. If each person on average gave $10 each year that's $45 million a year. Imagine if people gave up 1 Starbucks a month at $7 or $84 a year at 4 million fans that's $336 million dollars.
Other thoughts on NIL. Michigan sold over 90k season tickets last year. Lets remove 20k for broke students. That leaves 70k. My question is why when the AD sends out our notices to renew our season tickets they can't have a link to the collectives for us to donate to, On average if everyone gives an additional $100 that's $7 million for just football. For our 2 seats its $1375 per tickets for a donation to the AD plus $2800 for the tickets themselves. That's $5500 for 2 season tickets. I understand most people don't pay that much but its still a tidy sum to pay. My question is what's another $100 to keep a great team on the field? If people use their season tickets to make money by scalping them then add an extra $15 per ticket to your scalped price. Problem solved. You're making money off the product on the filed. Your tickets are all but worthless if the team goes 6-6.
People talk about the large donors should put up the bulk of the NIL $$$. They also talk about how there isn't much ROI when it comes to NIL deals. People on here expect the "big donors" to foot the bill for their enjoyment. Some of the collectives will take a $10 donation. give what you can. Drop your On3 and 247 memberships and donate that money to an NIL collective. If a large donor wants to give more nobody would stop them. There is an amount for all of us that the ROI is a great football team we get to watch every Saturday from Sept to January.
I'm not smart enough to wade through all the NIL rules but I'm sure the attorney types could tell us if the university can put up a link when we buy our season tickets. Or people like @Section_6 or @Anison
could tell me what's wrong with my suggestions.
When Schlissel was in charge he was more interested in academics and rightfully so but he truly didn't understand was the impact of football and all college sports has on academics. Take football about 20 student tickets were sold. Those kids didn.t jus come to Michigan to get a great education but also to get a great college experience. That means with all sports its safe to say 50% of all students will attend some sort of sporting event each year. These are the future donors who want to see great football being played in the Big House. The academic types do not realize how much realize how much those students experience at Michigan will affect future donations.
Now the onus is on Ono as well as the AD to figure out how to promote NIL as well as prepare for revenue sharing.. In the mean timne we all must do what we can to continue to raise money for these great players so we can continue to win championships.
GO BLUE
MICHIGAN WINS
